If you're talking about this young man, then I doubt he'll ever succumb to being a perpetual victim as you seem to be.

The only thing I expect he'll ever get in trouble for is having a flag thrown on him for pass interference or unnecessary roughness.

The title of this article is inaccurate. She didn't steal $850 worth of lottery tickets!

It's a surprise to me that she didn't obtain more than $850 in winnings/payments, from the lottery headquarters, from what was probably a lot of scratch off lottery tickets.

Regardless, sure not worth a serious theft judgement record that will follow her for the rest of her LONG work life, etc.

If she was a felon dealing drugs already out on bond, THEN her new bond might be 1 million dollars.

You are comparing apples to watermelons, oranges, and grapes.

Micro scratching is a real thieving technique. I once received a ticket with small cat scratches on it. They were so small that I didn't think anything sinister of them until I was made aware of micro scratching.

Micro scratching! Nice term. I don't think the lotto machines would read a micro scratch to cash in the ticket, would they? Pretty sure the whole thing has to be scratched off. Maybe the girl really is innocent because I can't imagine anyone buying a ticket that has a macro scratch on it.

Its easy to read, sit, and judge another person and their actions. Just for the record.......The lottery ticket/customer/ video camera incident happening last friday completely false, and since you only got part of the story I will be more than happy to fill in the blanks that the news reporter left out. When she was hired on at Twin Stop, there was no company policy against playing lottery while on shift!!!!! When Oasis Stop and Go took ownership, it was against store policy, which is the reaso...

This is really stupid. This 20 year old, just ruin her life. With this charge of lottery fraud. It is now public record. If she go out to get any thing that require a back ground check, she may get only no. Sorry, you have a record, we need to know we can trust the people we hire, or deal with....etc....

Micro scratching thieving technique is one reason I will not buy those higher denomination scratch offs. Also the fact that the tickets are not randomly distributed is not good.

Scratching off those 4 numbers makes an awfully big hole. Her customers honestly didn't notice it when they bought the tickets? I notice a scratch (on the rare occasion I buy a scratcher) because it used to be easy to make a tiny scratch in the right spot to see a code.

You can't fix stupid, with all the security measures stores and lotteries have one would be foolish to try anything shady.

On a side note, a PATEL store in Louisville, KY sold a $100,000 scratcher. Off to their website to see if the picture of the winner is there yet...

Gas station employee stole $850 in lottery tickets, police said

Security footage caught a Twin Stop Chevron employee scratching Idaho lottery tickets on the job and putting the losing ones back for customers to buy, police said.

Kelsee Adams, 20, was arraigned Monday in Twin Falls Magistrate Court on a charge of lottery fraud.

During the last couple of weekends Adams scratched a small portion of about 30 tickets to reveal a four digit number, court documents said.

Adams would then scan the number to see to see if it won a prize. She would place the
